CPS closes small schools because they have small enrollment.
CPS is closing eight Chicago schools. Usually they blame school closings on poor performance. Not this time.
The reason CPS is closing these small schools is because they’re small schools.
WBEZ:
On the Southeast Side, four small schools in what was once Bowen High School will be consolidated again into a comprehensive high school.
CPS says overall the closings will move about 700 students. Some 200 teachers will be affected.
Parents who got wind that their schools might close began protesting almost immediately.
